Am   G#
Tell me 'bout it when you're sober
                     Em7              F
Wake me up when your nightmare is over
                             Am   G#
And all our days are getting colder
                     Em7              F
Lay me down, I'll be closer to you


[Bridge]
     Am
Even if I try
    G#                     Em7     F
And God, I've tried so many times
      Am
And I gave you up
           G#                Em7         F
Then I got hope in us but not very much


[Refrain]
   Am          G#               Em7       F
My heart's not strong enough to hold you (how could I hold you?)
  Am           G#                   Em7       F
I doubt that's what I'm supposed to do (but you want me to)
    Am      G#               Em7         F
And I'm not strong enough to push you away
              Am   G#  Em7   F
Cause I'm not you


[Verse 2]
                       Am       G#
Friday nights are your shelter
                       Em7                     F
Wake me up when you're numb and your head hurts
                        Am       G#
But the pain is getting worse
                         Em7                     F
Pour your heart out, I'm still confusеd


[Bridge]
     Am
Even if I try
    G#                     Em7     F
And God, I've tried so many times
      Am
And I gave you up
           G#                Em7         F
Then I got hope in us but not very much


[Refrain]
   Am          G#               Em7       F
My heart's not strong enough to hold you (how could I hold you?)
  Am           G#                   Em7       F
I doubt that's what I'm supposed to do (but you want me to)
    Am      G#               Em7         F
And I'm not strong enough to push you away
              Am   G#  Em7   F
Cause I'm not you


[Bridge]
        Am                        G#
Wake me up when your nightmare is over
    Em7                      F
But maybe you're not getting closer
        Am                        G#
Wake me up when your nightmare is over
          Em7              F
When it's over. Is it ever over?


[Refrain]
   Am          G#               Em7       F
My heart's not strong enough to hold you (how could I hold you?)

I doubt that's what I'm supposed to do (but you want me to)
    Am      G#               Em7         F
And I'm not strong enough to push you away
              Am   G#  Em7   F
Cause I'm not you
